Emonpi inputs not appearing in emoncms.org

Emoncms

I’m using some sonoff units flashed with Tasmota to post temperatures via Mqtt to a local emonpi, I’ve used rules within tasmota to send the data in the correct format “emon/32/temp1” so it shows up as a node in the emonpi inputs, I want these inputs to upload to Emoncms.org , the emonhub config has the correct emoncms.org read/write api. I think emonhub log shows a connecton to emoncms but that’s as far as it goes, no data is sent. I’m using EmonSD 24july2020, emonpi is connected by ethernet cable my Lan.

Welcome Paul.

By publishing direct to the topic tree emoncms subscribes to you have bypassed emonhub so it cannot pass that data on to other instances. If you publish it to a topic that emonhub can subscrib to, then it can forward to emoncms.org via http as well. Beware that this isn’t an as well trodden path so I can’t promise there won’t be any trip hazards on that path.

I have got round the problem by processing the output from the Tasmota sensors with node red before passing it to emonhub. Is there an mqtt message structure that posts to emonhub direct, I would really like to avoid using node red as Im trying to develop sensor nodes that can be plug and play buy a non tech person into an existing remote emonpi setup. Im using Dataplicity and can get access to emoncms on port 80 to setup the node once installed but can’t access node red on 1880
